Tractor Ecospiker

A Real Bale Fork for Tractors Under 80hp
The Ecospiker brings forged spring-steel tines and dependable bale handling to smaller tractors, without making you pay for lifting capacity you'll never actually load. It's the budget end of the bale fork range built properly for real farm work, not the cheap end built thin to look affordable.

Benefits

What Your Operation Gets Back

Capacity You'll Use

Built for tractors under 80hp, so you're not paying for lifting capacity a smaller machine will never load.

Proper Build, Budget Price

Forged spring-steel tines bring real bale-handling strength to the budget end, not a thinner, cheaper copy.

Right-Sized for the Fleet

Matches smaller tractors already on the farm, so every machine in the fleet earns its keep, not just the big one.

The details

What makes it work

  • 01

    Ecos Design

    A lighter option sized for tractors up to 80hp, giving you dependable bale handling without paying for capacity a smaller machine will never use.
  • 02

    Excellent Tine Vision

    An open frame gives a clear line of sight to the tines from the seat, so you can line up and spear bales first time, saving repositioning.
  • 03

    Robust Construction

    Built properly for real farm work, with durable materials that handle daily bale feed-out in less demanding environments, season after season.

Expert advice

Tips from the Rata team

  • The Ecospiker's lighter tine suits smaller tractors up to 80hp. Running bigger gear? One of the other bale fork models will handle it better.
